In Jalna, Maharashtra, a three-and-a-half-year-old boy created a shocking situation when he mistook an aluminum pot for a crown and placed it on his head. Soon, the pot became lodged around his head and neck, making it difficult for him to breathe and resulting in the child crying out for help. His distressed parents quickly transported him from one hospital to another in an effort to find assistance as several hospitals refused to treat him due to concerns about potential injuries during the removal process.

After facing multiple rejections, a doctor named Minaj Patel at one hospital decided to take on the challenge of removing the pot, emphasizing the need for caution to avoid harming the child. He called in a plumber, Khalid Sheikh, to assist in the procedure to ensure safety. Together, they employed protective measures such as using a wooden PUC sheet and wet cloths to carefully manage the extraction of the pot without causing further injury to the child.

After around 12 minutes of diligent work, the pot was successfully removed and the child was reported to be unharmed. This incident not only highlights the dangers posed by children’s play but also showcases the quick thinking and collaboration of medical professionals in critical situations to safeguard their patients.
